Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given :
In certain organisms and under certain conditions, which of the following can be used as an energy alternative to glucose
-
fatty acids
-
glycerol
-
amino acids
-
all of these
- in certain conditions such as starvation when sufficient amount of glucose is not present in the blood the foremost priority of the body is to provide brain with the sufficient amount of glucose.
- So for the other body parts the energy that is to be provided can be done by the use of other substrates instead of glucose.
- First alternative of glucose is fatty acid which is stored in the body. These fatty acid molecules are converted to acetyl coA by the process of beta oxidation and used in the kerbs cycle to provide the cell with energy.
- Glycerol is also a fatty acid which is used as the other fatty acid in the kerbs cycle.
- Amino acids are the part of protein molecules which are usually not stored in the body but can be used in the kerbs cycle whenever they are provided to the cell.
- Therefore the answer 'all of these' is correct.

Preservation
-
Fumigation
-
Both A and B
Fermentation is an anaerobic process by which glucose is broken down into alcohol, carbon dioxide, hydrogen gas. Yeast is used during baking process. This process is responsible for the increasing the size of maida dough because yeast converts sugar into carbon dioxide and ethanol. Carbon dioxide gas is trapped by gluten proteins which causes dough to rise.
Buchner was successful in extracting a respiratory enzyme complex
-
ATP
-
NADH
-
Zymase
-
Mitochondria
Eduard Buchner was a German chemist who won the Noble prize in chemistry for his chance discovery in 1907. His brother Hans Buchner was a physician who conducted early research on blood proteins that could destroy bacteria. Eduard Buchner assisted his brother in his research. He produced yeast cell-free extracts for his brother who wanted to use them for immunological applications. In order to preserve the protein extract from yeast cells, he added sugar and while doing this he noticed the formation of bubbles. This meant that carbon dioxide and alcohol were being produced. Buchner had obtained an enzyme mixture called zymase from yeast that caused glycolysis and transformed the sugar into alcohol. Thus he discovered zymase, a complex of the enzyme that caused glycolysis in 1903.

organic molecule
-
$H _2O$
-
always pyruvic acid
Which of following is final $e^-$ acceptor in lactic acid fermentation :-
-
Pyruvic acid
-
Ethanol
-
Acetaldehyde
-
$O _2$
Under normal aerobic conditions, the final electron acceptor at the end of the electron transport chain is oxygen. However, fermentation occurs when there is no oxygen available. Therefore, something else must act as the final electron acceptor. In lactic acid fermentation, NADH is the electron carrier that ultimately carries them to pyruvate. Pyruvate is reduced to lactic acid, and thus, acted as the final electron acceptor.
The product of fermentation is
-
Ethanol and lactic acid
-
Acetic acid and lactic acid
-
Ethanol and acetic acid
-
All of the above
Fermentation is a metabolic process in which an organism converts a carbohydrate, such as starch or a sugar, into an alcohol or an acid. For example, yeast perform fermentation to obtain energy by converting sugar into alcohol. Lactic acid fermentation takes place in muscles during heavy exercise producing lactic acid. The products of fermentation are acetic acid, lactic acid, ethanol etc.
The energy releasing metabolic process in which substrate is oxidized without an external electron acceptor is called as
-
Photorespiration
-
Glycolysis
-
Fermentation
-
Aerobic respiration
Fermentation is incomplete oxidation of food substances in absence of oxygen (external electron acceptor) into alcohol or lactic acid with the small amount of energy being released. Aerobic respiration uses oxygen as an electron acceptor for oxidation of substrates. Glycolysis is the first common stage of both fermentation and aerobic respiration. Photorespiration is oxidation of RuBP by enzyme RUBISCO and does not produce energy. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
Incomplete breakdown of glucose in muscles results in the formation of
-
Alcohol and water
-
Alcohol and lactic acid
-
${CO _2}$ and Water
-
Lactic acid
The type of fuel used during physical activity also depends on the efficiency with which oxygen is delivered to muscle cells. The complete breakdown of glucose occurs when $O _2$ is present which is called as aerobic metabolism. When $O _2$ is unavailable, glucose breakdown is incomplete and it results in the formation of lactic acid. Accumulation of lactic acid leads to sore muscles.
Incomplete breakdown of glucose does not result in the formation of alcohol, water or $CO _2$.

$C _{6}H _{12}O _{6}\, \rightarrow\, 2C _{2}H _{5}OH\, +\, 2CO _{2}$
-
$6CO _{2}\, +\, 12H _{2}O\, \rightarrow\, C _{6}H _{12}O _{6}\, +\, 6H _{2}O\, +\, 6O _{2}$
-
$6CO _{2}\, +\, 6H _{2}O\, \xrightarrow[chlorophyll]{light}\, C _{6}H _{12}O _{6}\, +\, 6O _{2}$
In fermentation, say by yeast, the incomplete oxidation of glucose is achieved under anaerobic conditions by sets of reactions where pyruvic acid is converted to $CO _2$ and ethanol. The enzymes, pyruvic acid decarboxylase and alcohol dehydrogenase catalyse these reactions. Other organisms like some bacteria produce lactic acid from pyruvic acid. In animal cells also, like muscles during exercise, when oxygen is inadequate for cellular respiration pyruvic acid is reduced to lactic acid by lactate dehydrogenase. In both lactic acid and alcohol fermentation not much energy is released; less than seven per cent of the energy in glucose is released and not all of it is trapped as high energy bonds of ATP.

-
Lactate.
-
NAD$^+$.
In lactic acid fermentation, the 3-carbon pyruvate is converted to the 3-carbon lactic acid.

In all organisms, during glycolysis, glucose is used as an energy source and converted into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH molecules. Lactic acid fermentation is an anerobic metabolic process carried out by few bacteria (Lactobacillus) and animal (i.e., muscle) cells. Lactate dehydrogenase (enzyme) participates in this process and converts the pyruvate (produced during glycolysis) to lactic acid, thereby regenerating NAD+, which can be returned to the cycle and helps to maintain glycolysis.

Which of these is not true of fermentation?
-
Net gain of only two ATP
-
Occurs in cytosol
-
NADH donates electrons to electron transport system
-
Begins with glucose
- Fermentation is the process that takes place after the glycolysis in the cells where the anaerobic respiraton occurs due to absence or lack of oxygen.
- Pyruvic acid which is formed at the end of the glycolysis by the break down of the glucose molecule enters the fermentation reaction in the anaerobic cells.
- During fermentation reaction the pyruvic acid is converted to lactic acid and one molelcule of NADH is formed per molecule of pyruvic acid.
- This molecule of NADH will only form ATP when it will undergo oxidative phosphorylation in the electron transport chain which takes place in mitochondria, but for this process presence of oxygen is required so the organisms or the cells performing anaerobic respiration cannot perforem this process therefore the NADH formed will not donate electron to the ETS and no ATP will be formed by that.
- Therefore the answer option 'NADH donates electrons to electron transport system' is correct.

State whether the following statements are true or false.
When not enough oxygen gets to muscle cells during a sprint, energy is provided by glycolysis of glucose to pyruvic acid and then conversion of these molecules to lactic acid.
-
True
-
False
- Glycolysis is the first part of both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
- The end product of glycolysis is pyruvic acid which is produced in the cytoplasm and no oxygen is required for the process of glycolysis.
- The pyruvic acid formed can enter either kerb cycle for the reactions of aerobic respiration or it can undergo anaerobic reaction in the cells where there is absence of oxygen.
- There are 2 process under anaerobic reaction in which pyruvic acid can take part. First is where pyruvic acid is converted to lactic acid and second is where it converted to Ethanol and carbon dioxide. These reaction are called fermentation reaction.
- Fermentation reaction of pyruvic acid takes place when there is no presence of oxygen. Sometimes during some of the physical activities when not enough oxygen is not reaching the muscles the energy for the contraction and relaxation of the muscles is provided by the process of glycolysis (2ATP) and then the pyruvic acid undergoes fermentation reaction forming Lactic acid and releasing 1 molecule of NADH per Pyruvic acid molecule.

Both (a) and (b)
- Lactobacillus baterial are used for the preparation of curd from the milk. These bacterial cells perform the reaction of lactic acid fermentation where they use the lactose in the milk as substrate converting to lactic acid of curd.
- Muscle cells when they undergo go excessive physical work and there is not enough oxygen to undergo aerobic respiration so they also perform the process of lactic acid fermentation forming lactic acid in the muscles but excessive formation of lactic acid will lead the muscle to go into fatigue condition where the muscle will be no longer able to perform any physical function for atleast some time.
- Therefore the answer option 'Both (a) and (b)' is correct.
Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given :
In alcoholic fermentation is the final acceptor of the electrons stripped from glucose.
-
sulphate
-
pyruvate
-
acetaldehyde
-
oxygen
- 2 enzymes are present in the alcoholic fermentation of pyruvate they are decarboxylase and alcoholic dehydrgenase.
- The pyruvate is first converted to acetaldehyde in the presence of decarboxylase enzyme.
- This acetaldehyde is the final acceptor of electrons and it converts the NADH to NAD so that the process of glycolysis can continue without hinderance.
- This acetaldehyde is then converted to ethanol in presence of alcohol dehydrogenase.
- Therefore here the acetaldehyde or the pyruvate are the final acceptor of electron.
- Therefore options 'pyruvate' and 'acetaldehyde' both can be correct answers.

-
Fermentation and glycolysis
-
Fermentation and the Krebs cycle
-
Glycolysis and the Krebs cycle
-
The Krebs cycle and the electron transport system
Respiration is of two types -
- Glycolysis - It occurs in the cytoplasm in which glucose breaks into two molecules of pyruvate. It occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
- Krebs cycle occurs in the mitochondria where oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate takes place to form acetyl CoA.
- Electron transport system - Here series of coenzymes and cytochromes acts as a passage of electron.
The end products of fermentation are
-
$O _2$ and ethyl alcohol
-
$O _2$ and acetaldehyde
-
$CO _2$ and ethyl alcohol
-
$CO _2$ and acetaldehyde
Fermentation is the process of partial breakdown of glucose into ethyl alcohol or lactate. It is an anaerobic process. Fermentation takes place through the two types - lactic acid fermentation and alcohol fermentation.
Name of process | End products |
---|---|
Lactic acid fermentation | Lactate |
Alcohol fermentation | Ethyl alcohol + CO2 |
So, the correct answer is ' CO2 and ethyl alcohol '
.
During alcoholic fermentation by yeast two molecules of glucose produce.
-
$2$ molecules of ethanol $+2$ molecules of $CO _{2}$
-
$4$ molecules of ethanol $+ 4$ molecules of $CO _{2}$
-
$6$ molecules of ethanol $+ 6$ molecules of $CO _{2}$
-
$3$ molecules of ethanol $+ 3$ molecules of $CO _{2}$
Alcoholic fermentation is a process of anaerobic respiration in which 2 molecule of glucose is converted to -
4 molecules of ethanol,
4 molecules of carbon dioxide,and
4 ATP.
So, the correct option is '4 molecules of ethanol + 4 molecules of CO$ _2$'.
RQ in anaerobic respiration is?
-
$0.7$
-
$0.9$
-

-
Infinity
During aerobic respiration, oxygen is consumed and carbon dioxide is released. The ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide given out to the volume of oxygen absorbed in respiration, i.e., CO$ _2$/O$ _2$ is called respiratory quotient (RQ) or respiratory ratio. in anaerobic respiration, CO2 is evolved but O2 is not consumed, and therefore RQ is infinite (∞).

Fermentation
The process of fermentation is the form of anaerobic respiration carried by some microorganisms. Many microorganisms such as fungus and bacteria can grow and flourish in the complete absence of oxygen. Such microorganisms can utilize sugars to convert it into ethanol and evolve carbon dioxide. Since it is the incomplete breakdown of glucose, it yields small amount of energy which is sufficient to maintain the life of organisms like yeast and bacteria.

Respiration is the catabolic process in which reduced substrates are broken down. The process of respiration can occur in presence of oxygen (aerobic respiration) or absence of oxygen (anaerobic respiration). The process of anaerobic respiration is also called as fermentation. In some microorganisms like yeast, the process of anaerobic respiration (fermentation) results in incomplete breakdown of glucose to ethanol and carbon dioxide.
Aerobic respiration is more advantageous than anaerobic respiration because
-
It requires oxygen
-
It produces more energy
-
It causes complete breakdown of respiratory substrate
-
Aerobic respiration produces water.
The oxidative breakdown of respiratory substrates with the help of atmospheric oxygen is known as aerobic respiration. It involves a complete breakdown of substrates into carbon dioxide and water releasing energy. The energy released per mole of glucose is 686 Kcal or 2870 kJ.
